The great love is gone. There are still little loves - friend to friend, brother to sister, student to teacher.

I think I know why you never married, Sarah. Well, and I reckoned if I wanted something that'd come and go as he pleased, take me for granted, and ignore me when he chose, I'd get a cat. And if I wanted something I'd always have to be picking up after, getting into trouble, but slavishly devoted, I'd get a dog.
